The MicroBible: The ENTIRE Bible - in one square inch!

$10 each, Quantities available for gift giving, etc.

Often called "The World's Smallest Bible", this is perhaps the most unique accessory you'll ever own for your microscope. The entire King James Bible, 1245 pages, has been microprinted on clear mylar, about two by two inches square. Discounting the borders, the whole Bible has been reduced to an area of about one square inch!

You can actually read the text at about 100x with one of our compound microscopes.

Is it the world's smallest?  Guinness Book of World Records lists a New Testament that is 5 x 5 mm, etched on solid gold, so maybe not.  There's only one of the gold ones (not for sale), but we do have a few of these left, and they are for sale!

The MicroBible makes a unique and inexpensive gift for teachers, friends, and family!

Prices include shipping in the USA. Purchase 3 or more for $2 off each one.
